摘要

The clamp has a stem (2) passing through aligned drillings in the components and with an anchor (1) at the rear end brought to bear against the rear component (17). At the visible end is a fixing head (5) clamped in the axial direction. The anchor is so mounted on the rear end of the stem as to be pulled off it and against the rear component by a flexible strip (3). This runs along the stem in an axial groove (4) as far as the head, to which it is detachably secured under re-loading. It can have teeth (6) on one side, engaging with locking teeth (7) on the head or it can be locked by a wedge, inserted in a tapering aperture (8) in the head. ADVANTAGE - Easily detachable without access to rear side, and can be further tightened subsequently.
